I have a RPI that monitors for open IP ports to Google and CNN. If they are both gone, then I power cycle the modem. It checks every 15 minutes.
You could also have the PI do anything you like on other GPIO ports like kill a TX line or a power line to the radio. AKA, if no internet, then do a full shutdown of things. Just add relays as required.
